S MARIUS, Macrone, London, 1836 The subject of this tragedy is the well-known dis, pute that raged in the days of the republic between the aristocratic and plebeian party at Rome, one of which was represented by Sylla, and the other by Caius Marius. Both these celebrated personages of course figur e in the drama, which if it be somewhat deficient in p o i nt of thought and language, seldom ri sing into poetry, or i n d u l g i ng i n a lofty vein of re is yet is yet full of that sort of bustle and incident, Which ill the present day is so necessary to the success Of tragedy on the stage. Mr. Doubleday is the author, an d tells us in a modes:, well-written preface, that the piece was written at the request of the late Mr. Kean, for Whom the character of Caius Marius was intended, but who died before it was brought to a completion. under his auspices we think it might hare succeeded ; b ut We could hardly augur well of its success now, in asinuch as there is no living actor sufficiently compe tent to undertake the characters either of Caius Marius Sylla. Macready is too much of a declaimer, Charles Xemble too old ; and as fo r th e rest , t h ey are mere no bodies. CA IU WINDSOR. —.TUESDAY.

They came in as follows for the grand heat : William Conway Green 1 William Allingham Blue 2 William Lane Pink 3 There is a dispute between the two last men, the noses of the boats being nearly level, but the first man won by a dozen lengths. THE MATCH AMONGST LANDSMEN. The purse of sovereigns given by Harry Maynard, the waterman of Lambeth, was rowed for yesterday, by sixteen pairs, in three heats. The grand heat was composed of the first and second men of the two preceding heats.

RECEPTION OF THE DUKE OF RICHMOND ON HIS FIRST VISIT to his DOMAINS in SCOTLAND. Tuesday, the 23d instant, was a gala diy at H un tl y . At an early h our th e t own presented ,a lively appearance. The inhabitants and a great concourse of strangers were, about mid-day, seen wending their way towards the Battle hill, to wait the arrival of his Grace the Duke of Lennox and Richmond, His Grace's tenantry of the Aberdeen shire estates rode about five miles to meet him, then drew up in line at, we believe, at Newtongarry. On his Grace's arrival there the President of the Strathbogie Club, Mr. Stewart, presented the following address from the Aber deenshire tenants : " To His Grace the Duke of Richmond, &c. " We, your Grace's tenants of your estates of Aberdeen shire, approach your Grace for the purpose of offering our sincere and hearty welcome upon your first arrival among us as our landlord. " Many of us were born and have grown old under the protection of the family of Gordon. Our fathers have en joyed their friendship and support ; and, while we experi enced unfeigned and deep regret for the loss we have lately sustained, at the same time we cannot fail to express the confidence with which we hail, as our future land lord, a nobleman so deservedly high in the estimation of his country. " Not With expressions of adulation, but with feelings of sincere respect, we approach your Grace, looking forward to a continuation of the bond of union which has connected us with our former landlords, with an earnest desire to cherish towards your Grace and family the same attachment which we entertained towards that branch of your ances tors under which we have lived. We would beg permission to offer our most respectful welcome to her Grace the Duchess of Richmond and your family. " August 22, 1836." The PRESIDENT further expressed their feelings for the memory of his Grape's Noble relative, which prevented them from formally giving expression to their feelings in any other way than by offering this respect and welcome. The tenantry then filed past, and formed behind the train of carriages. The procession, including the inhabitants of the town and neighbourhood, four abreast, on foot, marched round the market-place, Captain Gordon, of the Royal Ar tillery, and the Rev. Mr. Walker, standing in the centre. A party of soldiers, in full uniform, marching two abreast, followed next, and immediately in front of his Grace's car riage. On its arrival in the centre of the square, Dr. Bremner presented an address similar to the above, from the feuars and inhabitants of Huntly. His Grace, in the most gracious manner acknowledged the address. The procession then moved on again, the tenantry, mounted on horseback, to the number of about 400, bring ing up the rear. They rode three abreast. In front of the Royal Oak there appeared what we supposed a represen tation of the tree of liberty. At the southern entrance of the market place there was a triumphal arch, with the word " Lennox " fancifully formed of flowers, and pendant from the centre of the arch. There were two other arches, one of which was similar to the former, with the word " Rich mond." The tenants having escorted the Duke to the north-western boundaries of his Aberdeenshire estates, Mr. Stewart of Cocklorachie, in a short speech, begged, in the name of the others, to take leave. At 5 o'clock about 200 sat down to dinner in the hall in Church -street ; James Stewart, of Cocklorachie, in the chair, supported on the right by Oswald Forsyth, Esq., from London, and Dr. Wilson and Mr. Wesby, Huntly, &c. ; and on the left by Messrs. Lawson, Robertson, &c. The cloth being drawn, after the usual toasts, the Chair man proposed—" The health of his Grace the Duke of Lennox and Richmond." " The Duchess of Richmond," and " The Earl of March and the rest of his Grace's family," were also given. The next toast from the chair was, " To the memory of the late Duke of Gordon." (Drunk in solemn silence.) " The Duchess of Gordon" and other highly appropriate toasts having been given, the Chairman left the chair at eight o'clock, and the meeting broke up. The greatest cordiality and good feeling prevailed throughout the evening. The Duke passed through Keith, same day, on his way to Gordon Castle. A public addres s to his Grace having been presented, the Duke, in reply, thanked the meeting for this mark of their esteem, and expressed the pleasure he had derived from the kindness manifested to him through out his journey. He said, that, with regard to public mat ters, he trust e d hi s li ne o f policy would be, as i t had always hitherto been, that which, in his opinion, was most con ducive to the best interests of all classes of his Majesty's subjects ; and it would give him much pleasure if, in pur suing such a course, his public acts should meet with the approbation of his neighbours in this quarter. IREL A ND. ----- DUBLIN, AUG. 29.—BARON SMITIL—ThiS noted o O'CONNELL'S CLAIMS.—We recognise in the letter to The Sun, the sentiments of the Rev: H. Cholmondeley, that admirable Englishman whose lot it was to dress the wounds and assuage the agonies of the mutilated survivors of the Newtownbarry slaughter, and who has rendered him self famous in that neighbourhood by countless acts of phi lanthropy. We need not remind our readers that the Rev. Mr. C. is a subscriber to the O'Connell tribute to the extent of one hundred pounds per annum, and that the fund raised this year in England had from him an additional contribu tion of one hundred pounds.—Pilot. JUSTICE RENT.—Pursuant to a requisition, a highly respectable meeting of the parishioners of Rathmines took place yesterday at Berry's Building, near Rathmines chapel, for the purpose of organising the effective collection of the Justice Rent in that parish. A Registry Association was formed in Carlow on Tues day, under the superintendence of Mr. Mara, who was sent down by the Parent Association in Dublin. MARCUS BERESFORD'S CURATE.—It invariably happens that everything the righteous man takes in hand prospers. Our readers cannot forget how the Rev. Thomas Alfred Lyons was handled by his rector ; success of course fol lowed, and the Rev. Mr. Lyons became the Rector of Ballysax. The Right Rev. Dr. Beresford also took him in hands, accordingly we find him still prospering. The following is from the Gazelle of Saturday night :—" His Excellency the Lord Lieutenant has been pleased to ap point the Rev. Thomas Alfred Lyons, A.M., to be one of his Excellency's chaplains."—Th e Beresfords proved Mr. Lyons to be an excellent man by their treatment of him ; otherwise he might have been made an opulent and an idle pluralist. Too much thanks cannot be given to the Beres fords and his Excellency for the parts they severally acted towards the Rev. Debtor of " ONE POUND TWO."--- Freeman. LORD MULGRAVE IN THE WEST.—Nothing can exceed the enthusiasm with which his Excellency has been received by the people on the line which he has passed through. Every honest and well-disposed man recognises in him a friend and a protector. The faction is downcast —thei r hearts'-core burning with malice and envy. ELOPEMENT.—A few days since the wonder-loving and scandal-whispering folk of Tullamore bad a g ala day, i n consequenec of an elopement w hi c h too k place here. The gentleman is a Mr. James Kelly, who is owner of a pretty considerable farm near Kilbeggan, county Westmeath, and a Roman Catholic ; the lady a Miss H. Manly, a Quakeress, second eldest daughter of the late Thomas Manly, Tullamore, formerly a banker. The happy man is young and well looking, an athletic lover of respectable family and connec tions ; the lady is— At the years Which certain people call a certain age, Which yet the most uncertain age appears." Report, however, most truly attributes to her the possession of " three thousand charms" of the most captivating nature. 'Tis said the envied couple are domesticating in the metro polis, but do not meditate a trip to Gretna Green, as the lady herself is sole guardian of the gold. SIR RICHARD NAGLE.—We learn from the Gazette of Saturday night that Sir Richard has been appointed to the Deputy Lieutenancy of Westmeath. Human prudence could not have prompted a better appointment. It will be remembered that the Hon. Member was deprived of the Commission of the Peace for presiding at an anti-tithe meeting when high-sheriff of the county which he now re presents.—Dublin Freeman's Journal. THE COUNTY OF LONGFORD.—The melancholy state in which Lord Forbes is, leaves two vacancies in this county. Lord Forbes was Lord Lieutenant and representative of Longford. We trust the electors will vie with the go vernment in the excellence of the appointments which must shortly be made. None of course, but a decided liberal will be chosen to either post. —Dublin Freeman's Journal. THE MERMAID.—We have it from authority, so respect able as to admit of no doubt, that so rare and extraordinary a phenomenon as a mermaid has, during the present sum mer, frequently made its appearance at Rossbeigh, in Castle main Bay. It often rests on a rock, distant about three hundred yards from the shore, and has been distinctly seen by thousands of people. 'The face, neck, breast, and hands, strongly resemble those of a human being ; but, in its move ments in the water, it has been clearly perceived that the body ends in the tail of a fish. It is a solitary creature, un accompanied by any of its own species, and, from the ap pearance of the breasts, and lower part of the body, it is supposed, by all who have seen it, to be feminine. It was seen to use its hands in washing and rubbing its face.— Kerry Paper. GONE TO THE DEVIL.—On Friday, about two o'clock, sworn informations were lodged with the magistrates of this office that a duel was about to be fought in the Park be tween —, of Mountjoy-square, and a country gentle man. Peace-officer Knaggs and two or three constables proceeded on a car to the Park, and, on going towards the Fifteen Acres, they saw two carriage coming in nearly an opposite direction, which contained the belligerent parties, for, upon seeing the officers, the gentlemen in one of the carriages told the postillions to drive them to the Devils' Glen, and they did whip and spur at such a rate that they soon left their pursuers behind, moreover the peace-officers did not wish to proceed to the full length of their destina tio►n on which the parties seemed bound. Nothing has been heard rf them since. • VIOLET ; OR, THE DANSEUSE.--W e are re quested to state, that the new work, entitled " Violet; or, the Danseuse," was published this day, by Mr. Colburn, Great 111arlberough-street, and may now be obtained of every Book seller in the United Kingdom. It is known to many persons that our ingenious countryman Baron van Derfclden van Binderstein has been for many years engaged on a map of our East Indian pos sessions ; but it is not so well known that the work is draw ing towards its completion, and will be on a larger scale than those of Arro wsmith and Horsburgh, namely, five inches to a degree. It will consist of eight sheets, and each sheet to be 60 inches in breadth, and 80 inches in length. His Majesty has been pleased to place at the disposal of the Baron about 80 maps collected or laid down by Lieut.- Col. de Busscher, who was many years in India, and has of fered the fruits of his labours to his Majesty, who has gra ciously accepted his present. —Dutch Papa. THE SUN, LONDON, WEDNESDAY, ATIGUST 31, 1836. BRISTOL, AUGUST 29. Although the majority of the visitors who have attended during the past week, are now hurr:.ing away from the scene of their activity and interest in the last week, there were many remaining to-day, to enjoy two treats which hail been got up expressly for their entertainment—the one being a grand horticultural show, provided by the Horti cultural and Botanical Society, and the other a grand re gatta, under the patronage of the Mayor and Corporation, in which the races continued from eleven o'clock in the mornin g until seven in the eveni ng . T he former, which was of an extremely interesting character, was a very fashionable promenade, at which most of the botanists were present, and the latter was made the opportunity of a grand gala day by the citizens. A steamer sailed this morning for Cornwall, with many geologists on board, who received an invitation from Sir Charles Lemon to pass some time at his seat, which is in the vicinity of the place of meeting.

Resern ment should not follow him to the grave, but truth must, In his youth he was a spoiled boy —in his meridian an unre claimed eccentric, and in his - dotage lie lost the reputation of humanity acquired by gleams of just feeling, occasionally breaking through hi, oddities—he lost it upon a speculation to advance a relative whom he had long neglected, and who, we believe, deserved as little the total neglect as he does the sad sacrifice of principle and justice in his behalf. —Pilot. The Dublin Freeman's Journal pays the following tribute to the memory of the deceased Judge :—" The last con necting literary link between Johnston, Goldsmith, Burke, and the present time, has been snapped by the death of Baron Sir W. Smith. The distinguished individual, whose death we now, with sorrow, record, united in his own person much of the genius and the wit of the illustrious men in whose time he had been born, with much of the prejudices of those among whom he died ; still, on the judgment-seat, the late Baron, when human life was at stake, invariably tempered justice with mercy—he wept over the wound which he, or rather the law, was about to inflict—he buried the acerbity of party in the feelings of the man, and mourned the fatality he had not the power to avert. Few men gave earlier evidence of the " wens divinior" than the late Baron. He entered college as a boy, and there distinguished himself. He was a very young man when the novel ingenuity of his reply to the pamphlet of Payne attracted the notice of the celebrated Edmund Burke, who introduced him to his son, and lived on terms of cordiality and friendship with him, until that great man, the Irish Cicero, paid nature's debt. That Baron Smith had his foibles, his weakness, and his prejudice, we are ready to admit. He was a politician before he was a judge ; and, though the former character should have merged in the latter, he united both to his life's end. He wrote and spoke in favour of the withering legisla tive Union—lie did so with eloquence and spirit, and the, ermine was his reward. His conduct must be referred to his English predilections, which were promoted and fos tered by an English education and English associates, against which even the stupendious mind of the illustrious Burke had not been proof. The conduct of his latter years may be explained by his own last work, the " Metaphysical Rambles." In those interesting little volumes there are many passages which prove that the cry of " Church is in dan ger," which, by the way, was an old cry even in the days of Dean Swift, made an impression on his mind which led him to believe, or to act as if he had be lieved, that the Established Church and the Chris tian religion were synonimous. This led him to the advo cacy of that establishment in all its multitudinous anamo lies, and gave a partial bias to his mind when that church was concerned. His grand error was in identifying it with Christianity. He made a principle of his mistake, and this gave a complexion to his latter years. Had he retired from the bench years before his death, lie would have provided better for his fair fame. We re gret for the sake of his memory that he did not do so. However, we will not undertake now the ungrateful task of strewing nettles on his grave. It is a remarkable fact that Baron Smiths and his late father, Sir Michael Smith, sat on the same bench. The late judge ss'as born on the 23d of January, 1766, called to the bar in the Trinity term of 1788, became a bendier in 1802, shortly after a Baron of the Exchequer, and died in the 71st year of his age, after a life, as he him self said in his " Metaphysic Rambles," longer than Socrates, 201. for experiments on the quntity of mud suspended in waters of rivers—Rev.

REFUSAL TO PAY CHURCH RATES. There was a considerable bustle in this parish yesterday, in consequence of the injudicious advocates of the Church demanding a poll, in opposition to the decision of a very full vestry, held on Thursday last, to ascertain the sense of the rate-payers upon the question of whether or not a rate of 2d. in the pound should be made for repairs of the parish church. The meeting which gave rise to the proceedings of yes terday was held in the Town-house, Church-row, Limehouse, and was very fully attended. Mr. Barr, the senior church warden, presided. It was then moved and seconded, that a rate of 2d. in the pound be granted to defray the outlay made for the re pairs of the parish church and other expenses. There did not seem to be any very decided opposition to the imposition of the proposed rate in the first instance, until a very ardent but inconsiderate upholder of " things as they are" defended the principle of church-rates, and asserted that they constituted, in fact, no real grievance to Dissenters. Mr. G. F. YOUNG, M.P., entreated all those who valued the peace of the neighbourhood to allow this moderate rate to pass without opposition. The Hon. Gentleman avowed at the same tim e his own conviction that the time had ar rived when some substitute must be found for compulsory church-rates.—_( Applause:) Mr. LAmoNT contended against the imposition of a church-rate upon those who conscientiously dissented from the Established Church. He should, therefore, move as an amendment, " That the question of a church-rate be taken into further consideration that day twelve months."— (Applause.) The amendment was then put from the Chair, and de clared to be negatived by the casting vote of the Chairman ; but, upon the orignal motion being put, it was lost by a con siderable majority. The advocates for the rate, however, demanded a poll. It was fixed for yesterday, when it took place. The poll op ene d at n i ne o ' clock in the morning, an d closed at three, when the numbers were— For the church-rate 142 Against it Majority against the rate -37 The result of the poll was received with loud cheers. An offer of 4s. 21. in the pound has at length been made to the creditors of the late Sir John Linter Kayc, Bart., of Grange, near Wakefield.— York Herald.

Thiers resigned in consequence of his refusal to take upon his own shoulders the disgraceful responsi bility of a direct violation of national faith. Argue the question as you may—urge with whatever force, that the interest of France should have prevented a single soldier from crossing the Pyrenees—still you do not touch the ground upon whi c h we re ly, th at as a party to the Quadruple Treaty Louis Philippe was I bound to afford the co-operation for which he stipu lated. Did he do so? Most assuredly act.. Across the French frontier, which, by the Quadruple Treaty, should have been " hermetically blockaded," supplies have been poured by the Northern Courts into the camp of Don Carlos. A force, merely nominal, how ever, has, we admit, been sent in under Berneile; but this cannot be regarded as more than a demonstration to save appearances. M. Thiers, though only at the eleventh hour, pressed upon his Royal Master the necessity of at once sending an efficient force into Spain. With difficulty Louis Philippe was persuaded partially to accede to the representations of his Minister. A few hundred troops entered with Lebeau, a depot was formed at Pau, and the recruit ing ordered to proceed throughout the country. :Mea sures were taken by the Spanish Government to pro vide rations and pay for the troops. The news of the occurrences at San Ildefonso reached Paris. That Louis Philippe was justified in abiding the issue of • events before he permitted any more troops to cross the Pyrenees, we at once admit. While there was yet a doubt that the cause of the Constitution of 1812 was the cause of the Queen, he was but obeying the dictates of prudence in refraining from an interference which might have . committed his Government in hos tility to either of these parties. But the Queen having accepted the Constitution, her right to the support of the Three Allied Powers remains still intact. No change in the Constitution of a country in any degree weakens the obligations of its Allies. Nay, further, these obligations remain unchanged even in the case of a changed dynasty. The in stance of Louis Philippe himself has furnished one illustration of this principle—an illustration, too, of which he should not be lightly forgetful. Bound then to afford the Queen of Spain the aid guaranteed by the Quadruple Treaty—what course does the King of the French adopt'? At the dictation of a foreign envoy, instead of reinforcing the troops that had already passed the frontier, he seizes an opportunity of cast ing an unworthy reproach on the General at their head; he orders the breaking up of the dep4t, extinguishes all hope of French co-operation during the present campaign, and dismisses. the Minister by whom it had been recommended. To the people of France, rather than to us, it is matter of importance whe ther Louis Philippe is to be at once Monarch and Minister. But to the people and the Govern ments of other countries, it must be ' a matter of grave consideration how far it is prudent to com mit themselves in alliance with a nation 'tolerating this unconstitutional and dangerous absorption of the most important powers of the State. If the obliga tions of treaties can be evaded by the caprice of an individual—be he Minister or King —what is habitu ally called " the faith of nations" becomes a mere mockery I There are not wanting, we find, those who say that M. Thiers was dismissed because he in sisted upon intervention : nor can the sagacity of these persons discern any difference between " intervention" and the efficient co-operation that has been demanded. Intervention was not required by M. Thiers : it was not asked for by the Spanish Government, nor the British Government, nor, we believe, by any portion of the English press. That which was asked for was the co-operation guaranteed by the Quadruple Treaty. Would this, if granted, have amounted to inter vention ? Has the co-operation of the British Go vernment amounted to intervention ? • Certainly it has not. We are not principals in the war of sneeese sion, as we should be if we sent an army of in tervention into Spain. Intervention was not con templated by the Quadruple Treaty. The strict ful filment of its stipulations could not amount to inter vention ; nor has it done so in the case of Portugal more than that of England. It is idle, then, attempt ing to draw from the inexpediency of intervention— which was not contemplated —any justification of the conduct of the condensed Government of France. Must the successor of M. Thiers accept his porte - foci& upon the condition of becoming the mere in strument of the King's will ? We should perhaps not have the right, certainly we should not be at the trouble, of asking the question, but that the people of this country are somewhat interested in the answer. The alliance between France and England, which has, within a few years, under the auspices of a most able foreign administration, acquired such strength, arrived at such notoriety, is much less an alliance of the Go vernments than of the people of the two countries. The re-establishment of a Tory regime, were it pos sible, with us, could no mote shake that allianee, than could the restoration of a despotic Sovereign on the throne of Louis Philippe. Its foundations are too deeply laid in the sympathies, in the community of feeling and of interests, of the people of both countries. 'That the Holy Alliance should look with jealousy upon the combination of the free powers of Western Europe is too natural to ex cite surprise. To detach France has been the object of their untiring exertions. The more recent lure held out is the prospect of a matrimonial connection between the Duke of Orleans and a Princess of Aus tria or Wirtumberg. To attain this object Louis Phi , lippe has made considerable and hitherto unavailing sacrifices. In the Government of his own country not unfrequent impediments have been thrown in the way of the operation of free institutions. The King appeared but too frequently more solicitous to bring his Government into harmony with the despotisms whose alliance he Was courting, than with thc•feelings of the people who had placed him on his throne. From the commen cement o f t h e strugg l e i n Spain he h as most subserviently evaded the terms of his engage ments the apathy to the Qu een . Will any Minist er h e may call to his coun c il d are t o support )eh e himrilfld that he has the ap folly to to persevere ? W e d o not apprehend of France can now stay the progress of freedom in Spain, but we know that cordial co-operation would insure its more speedy triumph. If that co-operation be refused it will be in obedience to a Power whose alliance, however personally grateful to the King, may be purchased at too high a price.__ Porn. Chronicle. The " Peerage Reform" question does not appear to have made very way much lately, in spite of the coun tenance it continues -to receive from the Ministerial prints : and if the Government writers would conde scend to depart from their generalities, and tell the people honestly and plainly the meaning of " Pe erage b Reform," we shrewdly suspect the propounders of the crotchet would very soon be visited, as they deserve to be, with almost universal contempt. But they will not explain their meeting, and we therefore must explain it for them. Let our readers, then, follow us for a few minutes in the investigation of the real nature and ef fect of this " Peerage Reform." It means shortly and simply, that a majority of the • House of Commons shall be allowed to usurp and exercise, without check or control, th e wh o l e o f t h e powers of t h e State, as well executive as legislative. To talk about the King' exercising any authority in the event of " Peerage Re form" bein g e ff ec t e d, wou ld b e to rouse Ercles vein in these performers of the most " lamentable co medy" since Py ramus an d Thisbe, an d f urn i sh Mr. Hutt, of H u ll, with the part l ie appears to desire as ardently as Bottom the weaver did--" a part to tear a cat in, and make all split." Away, therefore, as a matter of course, goes the Monarchy. With regard to the Lords , refo rme d, whether by being made elective or otherwise, suppose that, being reformed, they dared to venture to differ from 'the majority of the Commons ? What then ? Why another reform, of course —and another —and another still—if the Destructives had patience enough to go through so many stages before arriving at the inevitable result, which is the abolition of the . Peerage. Th us t h e science of government would re trogade thousands of years, and the boasted Constitu tion of this once greai, once glorious country—would dwindl e i n t o the woist of all tyrannies. a sordid oli garchy. Such extent—not a superficial inch less—as Mr. Rice senior, of time Treasury, would say—has this proposition of " Peerage Reform." And it is sup •
